perfect combo of hypnotic and melodic, I'll play this til I'm blue in the face!

Ending the year on a high having witnessed a plethora of musical highlights, Meanwhile has been a shining beacon for progressive house throughout 2021. Now, Australian, Mike Rish, becomes the latest debutant to showcase his talents on GMJ & Matter’s blossoming imprint with the 3-track “Beyond” EP.

From his home on Australia’s south-eastern coast, Mike Rish has witnessed an impressive rise to notoriety, courtesy of a clutch of high-profile releases on an exclusive set of blue-chip labels. Not wanting to flood the progressive house scene with a swathe of formulaic dance music, the Melbourne resident’s “selective output” is based on a carefully thought-out commitment to “keep people engaged, but also wanting more”. Thus, Rish’s work for the likes of Colorize, Serendeep and Juicebox Music, has seen the Australian carve out a sizeable niche for himself, further enhanced by March 2021’s 12-track “Interlinked” album for UGENIUS Music.

Opening his Meanwhile account with the “Beyond” title track, a chunky beat and cavernous bass groove sit tightly against off-beat hats and snare. Filtering into sonic range, an elegant arpeggio provides glorious melodic interplay as white-noise washes and meandering pads pulse gently across the near 10-minute piece. Full of spine-tingling atmosphere, additional melodic phrasing is introduced at the breakdown before extending into the third movement with ease, combined with a raft of effects and masterful touches.

A bouncing bass groove immediately finds “Mindgame” oozing with hypnotic force and low-end menace. Sat perfectly in between deep kick and ticking hats, a flowing melodic line ripples across proceedings as it rises and falls with filtered dynamism. Twisted vocal cuts and acetylene-edged synth effects pitch with glissando range adding to the aural collage in a track full of dark and mesmerising beauty.

Closing the EP, “Here For You” is characterised by an intricate percussive arrangement that introduces a subtle melodic backdrop. Effects and textured pads span the stereo stage in modulated glory as a pulsating lead melody enters the fray in the second movement. Building steadily before revealing itself fully in the stripped back breakdown, the second half blossoms in commanding fashion with a pulsating confluence of rhythm and melody. The result is a track that illustrates Mike Rish’s unique talent and technique.

A musical triptych full of innovation and sonic narrative, Mike Rish has gone above and “Beyond” with a glittering display of production prowess.

B-Vision makes his full solo release debut with a classy two-tracker. 

Hailing from Brazilian clubbing mecca, Sao Paulo, B-Vision is in good company. Making his first steps back in 2006, his unique sound has found favor with everyone from Marco Carola to Mr C. Signed to a number of high profile labels including Selador, Yoshitoshi and Dear Deer. Following his amazing Showcrates release and collaboration with 'Never Say Never' founder, Dimitri Nakov, B-Vision delivers two astounding solo tracks. 

First up, 'Red Room' opens with tribal toms and low end grunt. Building organically airy pads and shimmering percussions develop into an emotive, warm sonic exploration. Reaching critical mass at the halfway point, the break serves more as a staging ground than a respite, and the track is the better for it. The second track, 'What Have You Got' ups the ante considerably. Dark tribal rhythms abound as sonics and percussion create a mystical hinterland in your mind's eye. One for the late floor
